Hi,

I don't know if this is Dolphin related or baloo related, but when i change tags from a file with the setfattr command and this tag is "new" (was never created with the dolphin dialog), the tag is not recognized in the dialog for changing tags with dolphin. But it is recognized in the information panel of dolphin.

It would be nice, if those tags are recognized everywhere and in the course of indexing a file, the tag should also be created in a way, so that the tags:/ KIO slave also able displays this tag.

This feature will be cool for interoperability with other applications or systems that use the xattr for storing tags, comments, etc.

Thanks!

Hi. I totally agree. This is on the roadmap for the 5.1 release which should be out in 2-3 months.

Fixed with 5.1.

Unfortunately with this now we no longer support file systems which do not support xattr.
